‘Without facts, you can’t have truth. Without truth, you can’t have trust. Without these three, we have no shared reality.’
– Nobel Laureate Maria Ressa
Social media may be a minefield of distortion and disinformation, but it also remains an indispensable tool for connectivity and communication. And, in the spirit of collaboration that is so vital to a news industry challenged on all fronts, WAN-IFRA is intent on retaining our global networks and growing our various communities, wherever they are.
WAN-IFRA serves as a Knowledge Hub for journalists, newsrooms, media leaders and practitioners worldwide.
We advocate for genuine human connections in a world where information and communication is becoming increasingly distorted.
